**************************************************************************************************
What can you do? Donate a handmade or new soft toy for donation to a child in Japan.
Why? A soft toy can say so much, plus they're a great comfort to children who have been traumatised and who have nothing. A cuddle with a soft toy can bring a sense of comfort to someone in need.
How? Stitch one with love, or choose one with your heart. All donated toys will be sent to Save the Children in Japan for distribution.
When? Now! Time is of the essence.
Who? Who's doing it? Amy @
Badskirt. Lisa @ The Red Thread. Cath @ Chunky Chooky. Cindy @ Bug & Pop. Anna @ Hey Bubbles. Kelly Louise @ A-tisket, A-tasket. Jess @ Teddy Bear's Wednesday. SpectacularFairyWren. June @ I Sew Cute.
What else? The girls at
Calico & Ivy Balmain are available to help if you need some guidance with stitching your own softie.

Can you help bring a little joy to a little person?

Hey Lexi

Can I post something to Calico and Ivy? I won't have a chance to get down to drop it off. Ellie and I are off to buy something lovely with all our hearts because I don't have the time in my days to make something that will be ready any time soon.

Thanks for getting this rolling. You are ace.

Love this little button and what a great idea. I would like to let you know that I am running an AUCTION on my facebook page. Loads of kids designers and store owners have kindly donated some of their creations for the auction.
Take a look http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=34445&id=1772531985&fbid=1306939731559

You may find something you like.

Hi there I googled for softies to Japan and found YOU! I have some already to go but live in the UK, do you have any help to offer me?
I sent teddies to Queensland and NZ for the floods and earthquake, do you think I could post my softies to one of your drop offs and they would just get added to the Aussie ones?
I so want to help.
love to you
